One of the most beloved
symbols, the Yin-Yang represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things
work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the dark and light shapes
within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (dark)
and "yang" (light), which cause everything to happen.
They are not completely black
or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white, and they
cannot exist without each other. While "yin" would be dark, passive, downward,
cold, contracting, and weak, "yang" would be bright, active, upward, hot,
expanding, and strong. The shape of the yin and yang sections of the symbol,
actually gives you a sense of the continual movement of these two energies, yin
to yang and yang to yin, causing everything to happen: just as things expand and
contract, and temperature changes from hot to cold.
